OFFICIAL CONTROLS: Council discussions - Cases of suspected or established non-compliance with Union rules applicable to the use or residues of pharmacologically active substances

The following is an extract from the Minutes of the General Affairs Council meeting on the 16 September 2019

The Council decided not to oppose the adoption of a Commission regulation supplementing regulation 2017/625 as concerns cases of suspected or established non-compliance with EU rules applicable to the use or residues of pharmacologically active substances authorised and unathorised in veterinary medicinal products or as feed additives (11376/19 + ADD 1). 

The new regulation expands and further specifies requirements for the performance of official controls and actions to be taken in case of suspicion of non-compliance and for measures to be taken in the event of established non-compliance with EU legislation in the area of food safety at all stages of production, processing and distribution.
